Right now I can only think of three things associated with this guy here.

- Something like Hakan with buff to be maintained. Although I already can see NRS making buff chargeable, cancelable and generally making him into another cancel character. I mean, remind me of anyone in MKX who charges moves to actually change their properties instead of being an excuse to kara-cancel? Even Jaqui with her charge that actually does something doesn't do that.

- Some sort of evasive/counter-attacking "drunken brawling". I actually woild like to see it. Please, NRS, for the indifference of Elder gods, if you are actually doing this, make it work for a change! I know it's a challenge in such an environment, but I still hope for it.

- Brad Wong comes to mind, and maybe a concept of stance character can actually be something besides CovOps 2.0.

All in all, I have my hopes high for Bo. Tremor has shown that NRS can make a character that is effective without being boring and stupid, and that they actually can into defensive abilities. NRS had some time to work on KP2 and hopefully if there's a character who has all the game design talent poured into him, it's Bo.

I was thinking more Blood God style.

To be honest, I prefer to think "buff that is an actual buff", so that fits. Although it's just a wild guess at this point.

what do you mean by an actual buff?
perhaps health or new moves, would it on a timer or he gets more drunk or Powerful as the match continues?

The buff that is actually about buffing, not about fast placeholder move to make your shit combo (Unbreakable, Cutthroat) or an excuse to run cancel your recovery without ever using the move for "intended" purpose (High tech).

Sounds good, any suggestions?

Irrelevant at this point, NRS already designed him, I believe.
I was just sharing my random guesses and expressing concerns about possible recycling of concepts that already exist in MKX (just today had a salty rant on how they sold HQT Pred instead of fixing Cybernetic Kano).

But examples? They are plentyful. Full potential of his moves that is only unlocked when buff is sustained, Hakan-style (we already have Demo Sonya, but you can easily make him different enough to not step on her toes; she doesn't exactly have a buff, bun 'nades unlock a lot of her options). It can vary from "good options at the cost of need for recharge" to "so-so character that enters super mode if allowed". It can be just stats buffs, although that's basically Blood God. Many games do it, so...

Stacking buffs, by drinking -Agreed. Farts and all that naah.... burping maybe... I want that drunken immortal we did not get in the other games. He could be very original as a character.

After reading this thread, I am kind of hoping that Bo'Rai Cho's variations take some inspiration from the PS2 era MKs.

If only because I really want a sumo variation, and I want it to have Erron Black style tick throws. Seriously, imagine doing a hundred hand slap string into a command throw. Or untechable knockdown into sumo stomp ground pound for guaranteed damage. This is all hypothetical of course, but I really want this to be real.

I can only hope, since we have no idea what to truly expect. I'm looking forward to seeing what this "next generation" Bo'Rai Cho has to offer.
